Thanks everyone. And any tips on building strength in arms and shoulders? This seems to be my weak point... 

I'm sure this topic has been covered already, but does anyone recommend any specific exercises to increase fitness for clay shooting? 

Thank you all. Didn't know it would generate so much discussion!  I'm getting bruised just below my collar bone. I had my f3 custom fitted, and happy with it. It's probably how I mount and my technique that's the problem? Speaking of which if you know any good coaches near London, do let me...

I have been shooting with Power Gold Fibre. I will try your suggestions, and also try plastic wads. 

Thank you. I shoot a 30 inch F3 Blaser. Gun fit is pretty good. Yes a good instructor would be great, and I will contact her. 

Thank you both. Could you suggest some good soft 28g shells? 

Just wanted to see what your views are on how to minimise recoil. I'm a fairly slight guy, 5'4". I've been using 28g shell and finding myself with bruises at the end of a shoot. Just wondered whether it's my technique, or 28g is too much? Any tips? 

Also happy to join a group... just tired of setting timed delays on machines!

Hi all,  A relative beginner looking to shoot with someone in East London/Dartford area. Willing to travel if any other grounds are better/available.  Direct message me if interested.  Mike

Thanks Lloyd, very helpful as ever!

Hi all,  Just wanted to know where I can get a custom fitted F3 Blaser? (when this lockdown clears obviously...). Does anyone arrange factory visits / customisation at all? Thanks and Happy Christmas!

Haven't had the chance yet but I have been getting different opinions on which is better. I wont know until I try them both.  Alternatively, F3 Blaser looks tempting too- anyone had any positive/negative experience of it? 

Thanks everyone for the advice and comments. Someone mentioned black actions not looking so great after a few years - what happens to it, and is this a common problem?

Hi all,  Just wanted to see what people's opinions are on this. I fancy getting myself a DT11 black or a Perazzi MX2000s - it'll be quite costly either way (with custom fit), but does anyone have a preference for either? I mainly shoot sporting... (have been shooting with a Browning 525 and...

Berretta 690 series?

So would you recommend a make that would be well balanced? 

Thanks all. Does it matter what type of disciplines you shoot? or does that again comes down to your comfort?

I'm sure this is a topic that has been discussed to death but... What barrel length is ideal for someone like myself who is: 5'3" (160cm) Slight build and wants to shoot Sporting and skeet (mainly at club level but aiming for competition at some point)? I currently shoot 28 inch barrel and...

Haha, just preferring the flush ones from aesthetic point of view, not the performance!

I'm looking at Beretta 690 series - the pictures all have extended chokes - just wondered if they have options for flush ones....
